While both the Canadian and U.S. designation emphasize financing of terrorism, there is no indication that fundraising constitutes a significant part of Samidoun's work.

Other than a โ€œdonate nowโ€ tab on the organization's website, the content is overwhelmingly concerned with coverage of Palestinian prisoners' issues, political protests against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and profiles of prominent Palestinian and Arab resistance leaders.

Just shows how biased these people are and how meaningless their "terrorist" labels actually are.

It's terrifying how the government can just declare something to be a terrorist organization with no proof at all. Just 'they raise, uh, money. For... uh... terrorism?'

Except the article itself is pointing out that there is no real evidence of the terrorism funding point. The Canadian government just said they are without backing it up.

Yes, they're biased against terrorists.

Samidoun is very closely linked to PFLP, which is a terrorist organization. They literally invented the airline hijacking.

So where's the proof? If the Canadian government is going to make this kind of claim, they should cite their evidence. You don't expect a guilty verdict without seeing the reasoning behind it.
